Mr Lark said, “Today we're going to be talking about the Australian craft whisky industry and the amazing things that it’s achieved in the short time that it's been happening, so for me it’s been an amazing journey”.

“Everywhere I went I was swept up in a wave of enthusiasm from politicians who loved whisky desperate to change the legislation to allow small stills, plenty of enthusiasts around the place wanting to see if Tasmania and Australia could produce good single malt whisky. When we said we wanted to have a go at making whisky I promised my wife that we wouldn't start another business. And here we are today involved in a wonderful company AWH with four distilleries on our books and there are plenty of distilleries producing wonderful whiskies, winning some of the top awards around the world and for me it's been an amazing”.
